Ideal Applicant
U.S.-based charities working in education, faith-based initiatives, or related community services that match the foundation’s past gifts and can fit within a mid-sized to large grant award profile.
Good Fit
- • Program is aligned with charter schools, education foundations, or faith-based organizations (areas frequently funded).
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10k–$500k range and to demonstrate impact clearly.
- • Willingness to make a written contact request and engage through an intermediary or a relationship with the trustees.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 18 states with the largest share going to New York (about 28%); most dollars in 2024 went outside the foundation’s home state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 52 distinct recipients with a mix of new (25) and returning (27) grantees, indicating a broad and varied recipient set despite some concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Filings and the default application state that recipients are preselected and selection appears invitation-driven, but the foundation added many new grantees in the latest year and it provides a written-request contact route, so new entrants appear plausible though not guaranteed.
